 | | William Woodhouse (b Dublin, 1805; d Woodville, Co. Wicklow, 6 Dec 1878), son of John Woodhouse (i) (d 1836), a Dublin die-sinker, trained in Birmingham with the medallist Thomas Halliday (fl 181054). |
 | | He remained one of the foremost medallists in Dublin, designing and engraving many medals, including that for the Irish National Exhibition in 1882 (silver, bronze and white metal; see Brown, ii, no. 3130), until in the mid-1880s ill-health prevented him from continuing. |
 | | Both William and John (ii) were skilful exponents of the Neo-classical medal, the prevailing style throughout the 19th century in Britain and Ireland. |
